my time as a director

Li Qian spread his hands and said, "Maybe that priest felt the power of the Lord and went to heaven to find his Lord."

Ning Hao also laughed, "It's not a big deal to satirize religion. In fact, many of them are lip-smacking films, let alone Buddhism and Taoism. It doesn't matter in China."

Buddhism and Taoism are very powerful in the country. Any film and television drama about these two aspects must be reviewed by two religious associations, which can be seen.

"Shaolin Soccer" did not pass the review because of the word Shaolin. Optoelectronics suggested that Zhou Xingchi change it to "Kung Fu Football". If he didn't change it, he would not pass the review.

Optoelectronics pointed out the problem and pointed out the solution. There are not many domestic directors with this kind of treatment. If you change someone else, you will call back directly. You don’t even say the reason, let alone tell you how to change it. It’s enough to value Zhou Xingchi.

It didn't pass the approval, but it was screened in Xiangjiang first. You must know that in the contract signed by the partner Chu Film Studio and Zhou Xingchi, it is stated that no matter whether it is released at home or abroad, it must first pass the review.

Refusing to change the name, and showing it in Xiangjiang without passing the review, this completely angered Optoelectronics, so "Shaolin Soccer", which was done by changing the name itself, was directly banned.

As for Christ and Catholicism, the weight is much lower.

"The Da Vinci Code" in 06, because there were many insulting plots that conflicted with Catholic teachings, aroused resistance from the Catholic Patriotic Association in China.

However, after the film was released for more than two weeks, the box office exceeded [-] million yuan, and it became the second-highest box office imported film after "Titanic", before it was banned.

In China, apart from Buddhism and Taoism, it is basically no problem to ridicule and satirize others.

Religion does have two sides, as is the case with any religion. There are Catholic priests who cure diseases and save lives, and there are also liars who run trains with their mouths full of mouth. They are not black, they are fair.

Li Qian summed it up, "Then it can be settled like this. The male protagonist drifted to the shore after the shipwreck, and happened to be rescued by a company of the volunteer army who was gathering at the front line. The male protagonist who came out to find the meaning of life wanted to be with the army. But the army didn't want to take him, an old man, and wanted to settle down somewhere.

At this time, a volunteer soldier was injured, and the hero remembered some things that the priest said when he bandaged himself to stop bleeding and bandage. Under his repeated requests, the company commander retained this precious health worker out of selfishness. , and then participated in a series of battles with the team. "

"This makes sense, but the hygienist is a treasure." Everyone nodded.

"Then come on, the plot of the Beibang War will not be long, just the ice sculpture company in Changjin Lake, and the Songgufeng battle where one company resisted several divisions, and then we will go to the Gobi Desert, the plot of the atomic bomb, too. Take it in one stroke and experience it from the perspective of a bystander."

There are too many plots involved, and some simplification is necessary, otherwise, it will not only follow the words of the foot wrap, but also smelly and long, and the audience will be tired after reading it, but it will have no effect.

"After the atomic bomb, the male protagonist should go back, and the story will come out 70 years later. Dongfanghong No. [-] was launched. This can be released from the perspective of a TV series. There is also the big event of resuming the college entrance examination. What do you think? " Li Qian asked.

"For "Tangshan Earthquake", we can shoot some scenes where the male protagonist participates in the rescue." Qi Yukun suggested.

"A big earthquake is not suitable. If there are fewer roles in this scene, there will only be sadness. If there are more roles, it will be difficult to deal with. I will think about it again. Finally, I will summarize these roles and see if there is any suitable arrangement." Li Qian said.

"In 79, the women's volleyball team defeated the Japanese women's volleyball team and dominated Asia," Su Lun said.

This Li Qian has also checked the information. In fact, Li Qian has a general idea of ​​the major domestic events in the past few decades.

In the 70s, the Japanese women's volleyball team was known as the "Oriental Witch" and set a record of 118 consecutive victories. The "Witch" Japanese team opened the era of Huaguo women's volleyball team.

"Well, that's fine. Give it a 2-minute shot, show it in the way the protagonist watches TV, and then give it a dozen seconds when people take to the streets and wave the national flag to carnival." Li Qian nodded and wrote it down in his notebook.

"In the 80s, Xu Haifeng won the first gold medal in the Olympics, which echoes the 08 Olympics." Ning Hao said.

""Journey to the West" is broadcast, otherwise the actor can participate in the filming of the movie?"

"The first KFC to open? Forget about this, and nothing else seems to matter."

"Fei Xiang's "A Fire in Winter" and "Nothing" at the Spring Festival Gala made Cui Jian the king of rock and roll?"

"The Berlin Wall fell, it doesn't seem to matter much."

"It seems that there were no major changes in the 80s, and it was mainly in the 90s, right?"

Li Qian nodded. He was still young at that time and had no experience, and the oldest Ning Hao was the same. It seems that he still needs to find some old people to ask.

"Then it was the 90s. Basically, Ma Qingyang and Ma Chonggan would appear on the stage, and then went to Xiangjiang to witness the raising of the national flag in 97, and it was modern."

Basically these things, Li Qian memorized about a dozen, and then arranged the number of scenes. After all, after going through so many things, the main theme is still the love of the hero and heroine, and there is not so much time to shoot them one by one.

Some are a little more detailed, others are written in one stroke, or in a few minutes.

However, how to arrange it specifically, so as not to look like a running account or plain water, is also a problem.

At the same time, these plots, and the turning point of each reunion of the hero and heroine, should not be too abrupt, as if inserting for the sake of inserting, then it is not good.

After chatting for a whole day, at the end, Ning Hao asked curiously, "Director Li, how did you come up with the idea to shoot such a story?"

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "It's nothing. I originally planned to change the theme. The only themes I haven't filmed are action, love, war and serious science fiction. I was preparing for a sci-fi film, after much deliberation, I decided to make a romance film.

But there are more romantic movies in Hollywood, and they have become a popular category. Since 60 or [-] years ago, there have been basically all kinds of romantic movies, so after thinking for a long time, I came up with the male and female protagonists. A reverse growth, this kind of idea, the heroine is not suitable, so the protagonist is determined to grow reversely. "

"I see!"

Ning Hao was so impressed that he could come up with such a good idea in a short period of time for any subject that he had never photographed before.

Just looking at the creativity and Li Qian's ability, Ning Hao said sincerely, "I think this will definitely be a classic, no worse than classic romance films like "Roman Holiday"."

Chapter 436 Li Qian Can Always Play New Tricks

Hu Jiansheng, Longxi City, at the gate of the No. [-] Cadre Rest Center, early in the morning, several middle-aged men who looked like leaders seemed to be waiting for someone.

Seven or eight young people followed, including a reporter with a microphone and a photographer with a video camera.

There was such a big battle at the gate of the cadre rest center, those who didn't know thought it was the leader.

More than ten minutes later, an ordinary Toyota Coaster minibus stopped firmly at the door.

Seeing the waiting people coming, the people waiting at the door also greeted them, and the photographer turned on the camera.

The car door opened, and Li Qian got out of the car, but was taken aback by the battle.

Before Li Qian had time to react, the leading leader held his hand with a friendly face, shaking it lightly and regularly.

"Hi Director Li, welcome to Longxi."

"You are Minister Zhang, I really trouble you." Li Qian was still a little uncertain. This time he came to Longxi to find a health worker who was on the Beibai battlefield. Since he was in the cadre rest center, he sent someone to contact the local area. propaganda department.

However, in this battle, with more than a dozen people and reporters, Li Qian almost thought that he was bumping into a big leader.

But if you think about it carefully, directors like Li Qian these days can be said to be an artist who has reached such a high level in a certain artistic achievement, and his social status is not low.

Just look at Zhang Yimou and Cheng Kai, and you will know that when you go to film in a local area, the local government has to cooperate.

Moreover, as soon as Future Pictures raised funds, they were worth tens of billions in an instant. If an entrepreneur with a net worth of tens of billions came to invest, the mayor would have to come forward.

This is still this era, 20 years earlier, Li Qian had achieved this, that is, he was able to enter Zhongnanhai to meet Chairman Guo Jia.

Film is the only art that can enter Zhongnanhai. It was not a joke back then, but now that the market is commercialized, the economic income of directors and actors has increased, but the social status has continued to decrease. There are gains and losses.

The deputy director of the Municipal Propaganda Department, the District Propaganda Director, and the director of the municipal TV station shook hands one by one, and declined the arrangement for a break and meal. That Minister Zhang smiled and led Li Qian into the second cadre rest center.

"It's really exciting for a great director like Director Li to shoot a movie about the war against rice and aid to Korea, and let us remember the history. We will definitely call on all departments to watch the movie."
